Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries charmed me more than any
faerie king ever could. . . the ideal book to curl up with on a
chilly winter's evening. I would follow Emily and Wendell to the
ends of the earth. This book is an absolute delight
*Megan Bannen, author of THE UNDERTAKING OF HART AND MERCY*
Enchanting in every sense of the word, Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia
of Faeries is a delight of snow laden forests and changelings,
folklore and fairy kings, meticulous footnotes and academic rivalry
and adventure. Brilliant, prickly Emily Wilde and her infuriatingly
charming fellow scholar have a special place in my heart now. This
book is real magic
*H. G. Parry, author of THE UNLIKELY ESCAPE OF URIAH HEEP*
A charmingly whimsical delight, saturated with faerie magic and the
equally wonderful magic of humanity. . . Five dazzling, gladdening
stars
*India Holton, author of THE WISTERIA SOCIETY OF LADY
SCOUNDRELS*
Forget dark academia: give me instead this kind of
winter-sunshined, sharp-tongued and footnoted academia, full of
field trips and grumpy romance and malevolent faeries. Emily Wilde
is a narrator I won't forget in a hurry, and this book was an
invigorating balm for my heart and mind
*Freya Marske, author of A MARVELLOUS LIGHT*
A book so vividly, endlessly enchanting, so crisply assured, so
rich and complete and wise and far-reaching in its worldbuilding
that you'll walk away half ensorcelled, sure Fawcett found Emily
Wilde's journal in some sea-stained trunk
*Melissa Albert*
A darkly gorgeous fantasy that sparkles with snow and magic, this
book wholly enchanted me
*Sangu Mandanna, author of THE VERY SECRET SOCIETY OF IRREGULAR
WITCHES*
A thoroughly charming academic fairy tale, complete with footnotes
and a low-key grumpy romance
*Guardian*
